Another way to refine a search is to limit your search to a field. A field is a record element* containing a specific type of information about a journal article. Some examples of fields are:
title
author
subject or descriptor
journal or source
publication date
abstract
full-text indicator
* What is a record element? When you look something up in the library, the list of results that appear on the screen are called records; it is library jargon. An element of this record is just a way of referring to one part of it.
